Thanks for watching our new vegan food tour of Tucson. Do you have a favorite place in your city to get vegan food? Leave a comment below and we will check it out next time we are traveling in your area. -Joey
There is a restaurant in Tempe, AZ called pomegranate cafe - fantastic food and bakery. Plus they have eco friendly mech to purchase! I also love Uprooted Kitchen in Gilbert, AZ…mom and pop joint all fresh ingredients, weekly menu and fantastic desserts!-try their sourdough French toast (served with homemade yogurt, jam and fresh fruit)-amazing! Love you guys!
Hi Pam. We love the Pom!!!! Haven't been there in a few years as we are in north Phoenix so Ahwatukee and Gilbert are too far for us to go normally. But I need to get back there again for sure.
I was born and raised in Tucson, but moved away many years ago, so was delighted to watch this video! I had no idea Tucson had any vegan restaurants, so thank you so much for this video! Will visit some of these when we go visit family in the spring. Loved this episode.
Glad you guys enjoyed your time here! We live in Tucson, Tumerico is our favorite spot to eat out here. Wendy the chef is a sweetheart and an amazing chef. 🌱🙌
I will be visiting Tucson in 2 weeks for a week. I will be trying these restaurants! Thank you for doing the research.
Great review on the restaurants Tim and Joey! My husband was born in Tucson but moved to California when he was a baby. I think we need to take a little trip there to check out some of those restaurants. . Those tacos @Tumerico looked amazing and that French toast at the Deli Yum!! Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get that invite from HCH!
Oh my, Guys ... We moved to Tucson from IL in 2008 since going vegan 10 years ago we don't eat out. My husband just drove the 1st truckload of our household out of the driveway today headed for our move back to IL and now I see this video. So happy to know but so sad :(
Ohh! So glad you made it to Midtown too! It’s wonderful ! Tucson is so friendly , hopefully Lex will go to U of A and you’ll move here. 👏
If my son had to move so far, I’m glad he moved to such a plant forward city. I’ve visited all except Tumerico. Will definitely try on my next trip to Tucson. Beaut Burgers and Gavinda’s are some favorites.
Sounds like a lot of potential ideas for future Plant Based Dads recipe videos. Either recreating or transforming some of those dishes.
Thank you! We're traveling to several places in Arizona right now, and Tucson is on the list!
Thanks for the video. My husband and I go to two Mexican restaurants for vegan dishes. One is a veggie enchilada dish, one is a plate of vegetables over rice. Jim gets a bean and rice burrito that is huge. At one restaurant, they specifically list a fajita vegetarian. I opt out of the cheese of course. The other place we occasionally get something vegan from is Papa Murphys. They have vegan cheese that we tried and hated it. So we just get a loaded veggie pizza, about once every other month, and have pizza with a rainbow salad. There is a Mongolian bowl place I need to look up the menu for. I remember eating at a place in downtown Denver that I could get lots of veggies in that bowl. We are finding options in standard restaurants. For example, Olive Garden choose your pasta and get extra marinara sauce on it. I've had broccoli with mine. I also order the minestrone soup. We dine out less than once a week but let me say it is a treat not to have to slice and dice and cook.

I make a vegan tamale using black beans, corn and sweet potato. So far I haven't been able to figure out an oil free tamale masa.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Tumerico! I found out about it from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food Network. But that salad dressing is fabulous. Love the jackfruit tacos.
Fun video, I really enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just moved back to Phoenix area from the Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to heading down to Tucson and trying out some of those places. Thanks for the review guys! ❤
We were dropping our daughter of at U of A. We are at Zemam’s Too. They had some really good vegan meat free dishes. My husband refuses to give up meat so they had meat dishes for him. I highly recommend it. So good!!!
We are going to add that to our list for next time. Thanks so much. We are hoping for Lexx to go to UofA in 2024.
Thank you so much Joey and Tim for sharing your holiday weekend with all that AWESOME food and information for people like me WHO CANNOT ever go there and to see how other vegan eats because I am a beginner VEGAN
I am a big fan you guys! I am in Tucson and loved this episode. Thanks for talking about the amazing food we have in Tucson. Choice greens is one of favorite restaurant. Next time try Goodness cafe and Charo vida. I have tried the 10 veggie soup, squash bake and love it.
I live in Tucson and agree with your foodie critiques. You guys are spot on with each location. I love, love the spaghetti at Lovin' Spoonfuls. Next time try Govinda's for their remarkable vegan buffet for lunches and dinners. I am a 90 percenter myself and also suggest the three veg burgers at Midtown Deli. Their French Fries and Onion Rings are to die for. I gave up on Choice Greens after a watery salad once but going back now for that butternut squash salad with the raspberry dressing on the side. Tucson is a designated UNESCO Culinary Heritage City. Agriculture has been practiced here for centuries. Now I know what to order at Tumerico, thanks. I live 5-15 minutes from each of these restaurants and appreciate your video. We have several regular restaurants that have great vegan offerings, use only healthy oils if at all and are of consistant quality. I am originally from the West Coast so spoiled with choices. Sauce, has a remarkable baby arugula, cranberry with quinoa salad and Flower Child 's salads are both a two minute walk from Lovin' Spoonfuls on N. Campbell, our local Restaurant Row area.
. My BFF Tucson Neighbor and I hit the great salad bar at Jason:s Deli on the Eastside just today for $11.
My BFF in Hawaii just sent me this so ya got another happy subscriber. Come on back up the hill guys anytime. You could do another video on Vegan Seekers at Regular Restaurants in Tucson. TY.
Great review of vegan Tuscan options! Thanks!
Wow, that all sounds so good. My husband isn’t vegan and is a picky eater, so I’ll live vicariously through you two. Lol!
Just found your channel. I am incorporating more of a plant based diet so I need ideas for vegan restaurants. I am going to try these in Tucson. I've heard Eclectic Cafe is a good one too. Definitely going to try Tumerico.
This all looked amazing!
Chef Wendy of Tumerico is AHmazing. Her food tastes so light (even tho she uses oil) because she actually strains the food to get rid of the excess oil. I crave her creations but it’s too dangerous to go too often 😂
That rly is ideal 😌
Love La Paloma!!
I wish I could have met you down here in Tucson! Next time!
Good morning Joey, Tim, Lexx hope everyone has a great awesome day
Tumerico is my favorite!!!!
You guys left full for sure.
Thanks for the rundown…we live 90 minutes from Tucson and you have given me the desire to run down there for a semi (staycation)…
This looks like the old Fifth Street Deli - Jewish deli (last one standing?) Wonderful to see how things have turned around. Even religious Jews, many of whom live in this neighborhood, can shop here, as everything is kosher! 🥗 🥦 🥕 🌵
My favorite place for vegan options in Tucson is La Indita. Soooo delicious! They had a great vegan ice cream place called Cashew Cow, too. I just looked them up and they are permanently closed. 😭
You’re talking about the coyotes… “Well, they’ll take the shorter one.” 🤣Hysterical Joey!!! (Very short here, too; I can relate.🤣)
🌱🕊💚
You know coyotes go for the easy meal, right??? HA!
@@PlantBasedDads Yep! We deal w/ those scary things, too, here in south Texas; the packs that run in the field behind our house, at night, sound like a creepy horror movie . 😖
Coyotes need to switch to a WFPB lifestyle! Lol. 🌱 Love your channel. 🕊
Watching this video made me so hungry! Great video.
Next time try Govindas and Saffrons.
Ill add those to my list for next time
have not been to Tucson yet but now excited to eat when we get there thanks for the info
Sounds like I need to plan the next getaway adventure in Tucson...😊
My friends and I were at Turmerico on the same day (same menu). I had the carne asada platter. It was so filling and good!! Great reviews! Can't wait to try the other restaurants.
We absolutely loved it. It was our favorite place of the entire trip.
The food looked fabulous! We have nothing like that where I live.
What a wonderful get-away you both had! Joey, see Jackfruit is good! I love my Jackfruit Tuna Salad that my husband and I make. The hotel looked fabulous and the food….OMGosh. I could have eaten everything on the menu. Did any of the restaurants have cookbooks out? Those tacos looked so good I wanted one right now. Did you ask what the ingredients were in the Raspberry Salad Dressing? Did your son stay by himself for the weekend or did he go to your sister’s house Joey? I found when we left for an overnight stay that the boys had people over to stay. 😳 So, we didn’t do that again. Glad you both had fun on your weekend away.
Lexx is fine by himself. He is totally trustworthy. You know, it never occurred to me to ask if the restaurants have cookbooks out. Thats a really good point. I will check next time I go to someplace like that. For the salad dressings, I got the lowest fat dressings, so they probably had some oil in it but I made sure to go with the lowest one out of the vegan ones.
Yay my hometown! I love the vegan restaurants here..
You guys should of went to Urban Fresh. They have such good wraps oil free and smoothies
It was on our list but we couldn't get to it on this trip. Next time.
I wish we had as many good vegan, gluten free restaurants here in the valley as they do in Tucson. El Charro Cafe has a great selection of vegan and gf food. They have amazing tamales.
I was amazed at how more advanced the vegan scene is in Tucson than Phoenix.
Tucson is the home of Beaut burger.
It is here in Phoenix also
I love Tumerico. I cannot believe how many dishes you got through there! We never did hear whether you liked the cactus dish or not. How was it?
If you go back to Tucson I think you'd enjoy Charro Vida. If you're looking for a reuben in Phoenix have you tried Beaut Burger's reuben?
Good morning
"I eat a plant based life" NYC mayor
Do you have a listing of these places to eat
Nopales is cactus! The name said it all. You go Tim for loving some nopales. Not for me- slimy and weird.
